Chapter seventeen

"Cain! Lauren!" We both heard Jordan yell from downstairs. I opened the door to head towards the stairs so did Lauren. Once we made it downstairs they both looked pissed. "Why did y'all leave us at the beach?" Angelic blurred out obviously feeling some type of way. "We don't owe you an answer. We left because we wanted to." Lauren said with aggression. Angelic rolled her eyes and cricked her neck. "Ladies. Ladies chill out. We sorry we left but my girl wasn't feeling it." I said trying to die things down. Jordan shook his head no as I watched them both look like they were just getting started. "You don't tell me to calm down Cain. Your "girl" is an attention seeking bitch who needs to relax and stop making everything about her." Angelic said cruelly. "Bitch! Who you calling a bitch? Angelic you might want to do what you do best and put a dick in your mouth to shut it. If you really that concerned about why we left it's because your brother from another mother threatened my fucking life. Who knows better than you how he used to beat on me like a punching bag. Shut the fuck up! You never speak when needed late ass hoe. I've been trying to spare you out of respect for my man and Jordan but you really pushed me to that point." Lauren said as I stood there mouth on the floor. Damn her mouth reckless as fuck and Angelic stands there speechless. As a tear rolled down her cheek she quickly wiped it and then laughed. "Wow look who finally grew some balls overnight. For a bitch who was a former drug addict and a slut I would slightly take you serious. You've been mad at me this entire time about something you caused on yourself. How dare you blame me for flirting with my uncle then accusing me for it because you want to look like the perfect girl for my brother. All the secret meet ups with Gino, the texting and calling y'all engaged in. Just stop it Lauren it's embarrassing and just when I was going to give an ounce of sympathy you go and fuck it up." Angelic said. "You so fucking evil and you know that the shit you saying is not true. Your a fucking monster and I wish I would never have even been as good of a friend I was to you. You can stand here and try to pretend in front of your man but in due time he will see for himself. So I warn you Jordan keep your ears and eyes open at all times." Lauren said walking away from everyone. Going behind Lauren I noticed she had locked our door. Both girls said some harsh ass shit to each other and I knew Lauren was embarrassed and upset. With the things that Lauren and Maleah say to me I knew something was off about Angelic and her family. It was just things missing in between. Knocking at the door for Lauren she finally unlocked it. I walked in as she quickly sat back down on the bed. With her head in her hands I heard her crying softly. Moving closer to her I joined her as I wrapped my arm around her. "Lauren it's okay. I got you. You got me in your corner I promise. Don't worry about that shit okay. Just so you know the stuff Angelic said don't make me look at you differently." I said. She looked up at me with a serious look on her face. "Only if you knew Cain some of what she said wasn't all lies but that don't make up for what they did to me. Yeah I flirted but I was only looking for a way out. I went to Gino for security he promised me that he'd help. They set me up and used me. You see Cain this is why I'm mad you dragged me here." She said pulling away from me. "Like I told you I got your back baby. I'm right here on your side. Just calm down and relax and let's get through this trip. Promise me you can keep your cool." I said looking at her. She smiled and hugged me. Hearing knocks at the door I got up. It was Jordan so I stepped in the hallway. "Yo that shit was crazy. Is she okay?" He asked. "Yeah I got it under control and right wild for sure. What's up everything good?" I asked. "Yeah I just came to tell you I'm going to a meeting with my boss man. No worries Angelic going with me." He said. I yanked my head back a little bit. "To a business meeting? You don't think nothing of her being in a room while you discuss your business like that? You trust that?" I asked. Jordan shook his head no. "Not really but she can't stay here with the shit her and your girl got going on. Besides she seems to know a little bit about the business so I guess it's all good man." He said doubtfully. We dapped up and I went back to tend to Lauren. With the house to ourselves I made Lauren dinner as we chilled and relaxed. In the middle of a movie my phone goes off and it's Maleah. Getting up I walked downstairs to the porch and answered. "Hello." I answered. "Where are you?" She asked before even speaking. "I'm on a trip with Jordan handling business what's up?" I asked hearing irritation in her voice. "I received a message saying you was on a vacation with some bitch. Cain I'm not in the mood for the bullshit lies. What bitch is you with?" She asked me. I know damn well she wasn't trying to grill me out. "Who the fuck told you that?" I asked getting annoyed because I already knew who. "Man fuck all that just tell me." She said. "You just worry about keeping safe I'll see you in a few days." I said hanging up.
